cant see ANY Sensor ranges!
Keks  [developer] Sep 12, 2018 @ 9:13pm 
Check this:
- add "[PAM]" to the sensors name like: "sensor1 [PAM]"
- Add a antenna (maybe it helps)
- Enable "Show sensors field range" in inventory menu
- select "Setup Job" in the menu (only in this menu it will be activated)

it should be visible now. You can also watch the video it is explained there too.
Tell me if this helps please.

The sip stay in dock after returning from mining, I checked the force of the connector, becuse that gives me a lot of problems but still..
Keks  [developer] Sep 19, 2018 @ 6:09am 
Is the job still running when this happend (top left corner = Job active) ? Or is it canceled because of something ? Check the last message (last line on LCD). Maybe it canceled because of detecting a damage. When the ship want to undock it disables his own connector, so the force should not matter.

i have 4 of these comming out of my ship.... It was REALLY FUNNY! but bad. first Drones 1&3 colited at the door, one fly in to the hanger and crashed( drone 1), the other out in to deeeeep space (drone 3) lol
Then Drone 4 was heading out only when it turned it smacked drone 1 and auto docked do to damage.
Drone 2 was never hurt in any of this xD

Well, think that the pathing of this script is made via waypoints, i didn't see anithing to avoid colisions, so yea, better make them to pass without trafic

I'm getting a "Script too complex" error once in a while. Start recording path, undock, fly to the asteroid (~6 km out) stop script to start mining job with CFGS 25 25 100 all via the program block, not using the monitor. Sometimes it starts working but no drone ever returned from mining.

Updated in my problem, I noticed that my miner (witch Im starting to use the octopus miner ship, i'm lazy sometimes), isn't unloading the cargo, I used a ice field to test it, and that happend, any thougts?

PD: Something about miners that can't remember their last job?

Edit: It seems its a problem with the conveyor sorter, without it, it works better

@Elethor
I have located the problem, update is in progress. In the meantime, just start smaller jobs.

@Enejota
So all your problems are solved ?

In the terms of the script, probably yeah, fixed, but the drone still can't unload everything.

check if the owner property is set to "Me" (Ship and station). I had a similar problem and the owner property was set wrong.

The problem persist, so tomorrow i'm going to build a miner from ground, to see if it still happend, what worries me more it is that the seting of home and jobs dont persist if you close game.
Keks  [developer] Sep 21, 2018 @ 2:52pm 
It will changed in future but first the rough bugs have priority. Everything step by step :)

@Elethor
The error should be gone. Check the new version.
